An illustration, not a quote

This fictional example explains the format. The property and £995 inclusive purchase figure are fictional. The example shows how an inclusive quote, the approach fee credit and the optional £349 Land Registry service fit together. Third-party costs must be confirmed for your case.

Three amounts to keep distinct

01

Indicative estimate

A starting point based on available information.

02

Agreed terms

The negotiated figure and terms we share for you to accept or reject.

03

Final amount payable

After your acceptance: the inclusive purchase figure, less the £99 credit, plus any selected optional service and applicable third-party costs.

Your inclusive figure always includes our service

The quoted valuation or purchase figure includes the freehold price and BeFreehold’s facilitation fees: title reviews, preparation of the transfer documentation and facilitation through to completion. Our service remains included if you appoint a solicitor; their involvement does not remove our service or reduce the quoted figure by excluding it.

You may choose your own solicitor

BeFreehold does not require you to instruct a solicitor for its standard voluntary purchase process. You are welcome to appoint one for independent advice or assistance. Their fees are separate from your inclusive BeFreehold figure.
